Unpacking and Initial Positioning

Shipping Hardware
On 6-stage pump packages, the upper pump (fore pump) is secured with four yellow
shipping brackets. These are used to prevent the rubber cushions from tearing away
during shipment. The brackets need to be disconnected from the pump and rotated
away from the pump.
For each bracket:
1. Remove the bolt securing the bracket to the pump (upper bolt).
2. Loosen the bolt securing the bracket to the frame.
3. Rotate the bracket away from the pump.
4. Tighten the bolt securing the bracket to the frame.
5. Reinstall the upper bolt into the pump housing.
If the pump is to be shipped for any reason, these brackets should be reconnected
before moving the pump.
